OMG I've been wanting him in a full blown Western for ages! Manifestation works ya'll!😂 and Travis Fimmel is *chef's kiss*.

I also couldn't stand her on TWD and this is what I remember - the Kristen Stewart in Twilight School of Acting. I think it was a combination of the acting and writing though. That's all I've seen her on.

Further comment states it's for Batman: The Longest Halloween. Oh boy. edit:

Interesting. hmmm....To me, there's like Jared before he said the Finale was his favorite episode, and then there's Jared after. I haven't trusted him since lol.

Don't.even.speak.its.name! With Jensen in charge, I hope there's an episode of an egotiscal TV showrunner who has to face the music for his crimes! Make it in the style of the movie 9 to 5 meets Supernatural and I'd really be happy lol.

Yes! I just zoomed over from twitter. Did ya'll have clues of this or did I miss something? I'm honestly surprised but intrigued.

Can't wait to see what Gugu Mbatha-Raw's Judge Renslayer (what a cool name!) And Wunmi Mosaku's Hunter B-15 will get to do in the rest of the season. Very cool that they are the 2nd and 3rd leads. Very interested in the Renslayer and Mobius dynamic after the 1st episode and this featurette.

I like these theories. My speculation is that the TVA is like that group Sydney was working for on Alias. She thought she was working for the good guys. Only to find out they were not.

Loki declaring, he “does not enjoy hurting people," was pretty monumental. I'm all in. (even thought I maintain they should have released these on Fridays). Loki realizing that he had sent his Mother’s killer right to her was a serious gut punch, beautifully acting by Hiddleston. I personally enjoyed spending quality time with this character in all his good, bad and ugly dimensions. The Avengers movies did not leave time to really explore him, so this felt like a treat. He and Owen Wilson do have amazing chemistry. When Mobius told Loki he was meant to bring chaos so others could be their best: I don't think it's as negative as it initially sounds. I'm sure there's more layers to be revealed. Lightworkers believe they are here to bring light to others, to help them on their journeys. He could be some darker version of that. I also love his questioning Loki about his compulsion to "Rule": what will you do then? And then? What truly is your Glorious Purpose? Will that truly bring you happiness? These are questions that should be brought up with this fake rule in Thor Ragnorak. Was he truly fulfilled when he had free reign? I loved having two women of color as the 2nd and 3rd leads and we had a female director again. And I can't wait to dig into why they chose this 70s motif for the show aesthetic. Lastly, SO…Steve fiddling with the timeline in Endgame was okay with the TVA?

I like "The Boys" account comments:

Ya know, he could just ruin me and I'd be ok with that, ok?!

She didn't know John was the father until she found the photograph in the journal. She may have known about the him and Erin (I hate that they called it a relationship, she was like 14/15 when it happened?) but did not know who DJ's father was. She was dating DJ at the time she got pregnant.

Thank you! That was bugging me.

I should have called it Reverse!Fridging lol. That's what I like about the writing of Mare, she was written with aspects that could have been for a male lead. It somehow didn't come off forced or projected from a dubious place- (like see! equal opportunity! yay girl power) - which I appreciate. But yes, it's very common aka a trope. It's cut and paste at this point. There are other things that can trigger a change or give motivation to a character, etc. However, TV/film writers are going for an immediate impact in the shortest amount of time and the death of a sympathetic characters is the default.

👆🏾 This! That's where i'm at. There are assumptions that Dean fans are only upset because of Dean's death or even that it was a routine hunt. It's the entire context of what you listed that makes it impossible to reconcile this careless finale.

The highly upsetting male fridging of Colin Zebal was beyond unfortunate. I adored him and Evan Peter in general! There were so many times BEFORE that even that could have been a turning point for Mare. I also hate that they took Zebal's crime solving victory away. It seem to be just so Mare could confess the planting of the drugs. Otherwise, I feel actually satisfied with this ending. That's huge for me as I've had my enjoyment for a series severely reduced by an unsatisfactory finale (I'm not even talking about GOT here!) - Lovecraft Country, for example. It may be because I just started and binge-watched the show this week. I didn't follow it week to week which creates a longer anticipation, of course. The longer we have to speculate, the harder it is to accept what you're actually given on finale day. I appreciate how they dealt with Mental Illness and grief - could have done more, but they did better than most. I liked her changing just enough but not in a jarring way. The acting was superb - Kate is just a master, and the rest of the cast amazing as well. Guy Pearce seems like wasted casting though. I kept telling myself he has to have a huge secret for him to be cast in that role.

Jess told them that Dylan did not want the real father found. He knows Erin would have written about that person in her journals. He thought it would break his parent's heart. They left clues that he actually didn't want to give up the baby. He's still trash but felt an attachment to the baby. Now, I have no clue what the other dude got out of this arrangement, however! And I'm super surprised his parent didn't try to fight or set-up some kind of arrangement. Now, my question is did we get a real answer as to where he went the night Erin died?

I rather I had been wrong and a real life Miracle took over the script and gave us something worthy of this man’s 15 season struggles to save good people. The hunt was so excessively thoughtless that I've seriously teared up in frustration when I think about. So I try not to think about it. I'd rather Jared's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had been the finale of someone had to die. Here's the thing, making the think that kills Dean be a normal hunt - not my favorite but not bad in and of itself. But put some actual teeth on it, like care. Make what seemed like an easy situation turn out to be catastrophic. Show Sam trying to save him and showing real emotion. Give a real reason why Dean would just give in to death at this point. I know there's an equivalent to what I'm describing but I can't pull it up just now. I've never seen a series lead treated this way. I didn't hate the Castiel speech at the time. In fact, I found it moving, if only someone finally expressed to Dean how amazing he is. The show beats him up at every moment but doesn't balance it with his goodness. Now, not so much due to the Implications, seen and unforseen, that took over the series finale. I just avoid anything related to it at this point. Guys, when I think about Dean's death and rewind the first episode coming to his little brother because his Dad is essentially missing. "Dad's on a hunting trip and he hasn't been home in a few days". I actually teared up. It's beyond unfortunate. Not even the death itself, but the aggressive disrespect for this character (and Jensen). Fighting Things, Hunting people, instead of just sitting it out until their Dad came home, was the direction for the whole show.

A first time viewer could have come up with something more compelling. They just didn't give a fuck. And I told ya'll before the finale that every awful thing was going to be blamed on COVID. Yes it took everyone by surprise and had a huge impact on the industry. But I bet what we got is probably equal to their original intent = completion of their disregard for Dean and lack of appreciation of Jensen.

Made worse when you re-watch from the beginning! We are "told" that Sam is the compassionate caring one. But Dean was the one always ready to get back to the hunt of saving people, when Sam wanted to give up and run away countless times. And the way Dean connected with kids was always touching to me. Yeah, that scene can go the way of the rubbish bin.

This Insane! I'm impressed Mackie.

He's just so SASSY - loves it! I saw some complaints, but I Wouldn't kick him outta bed for eating crackers lol. At least we know he's not like men who do the Beard-fishing form of Catfishing, where guys look attractive with the beard but totally goofy once shaved lol. Me thinks he's trying to get us prepped for the gritty Soldier Boy/The Boys vibe.

Zemo had the keycard in the book already. When Bucky asked "What's the book you're reading?" he took it as some kind of signal that something would go down. "Machiavelli" means something in their world. When the lock-down started - it looks like Zemo's cell opened, (which doesn't make sense.) So I'm fanwanking that the guard was distracted due to "all hands on deck procedures" and Zemos slipped through the door and surprised him. He then knocked him out and put on his suit. Then used the keycard to get through he security door.

I think it was her that killed Selby. Someone pulled their hoodie tighter to hide their face, when Zemo started talking to the Bartender. Gender wasn't clear - she could have hid out of sight until Sam's phone call screwed them up. I didn't get the big deal about her return. I enjoyed her nevertheless. I could see them matching her with Sam if they introduce that element in the show. btw, am I the only one that wants to call ZEE-mo, NEMO? lol

Thank you everyone! Great points! I guess the key thing is Bucky doesn't want to be recognized. He doesn't want the attention of fame brings and he's dealing with such shame and insecurity. Yeah, his current look has The Clark Kent effect to the public. They recognized him better when he spent hours in the styling chair:😄
